Song Lyrics That Stayed with Me

Music has always been a big part of my life. I've started singing in choirs and performing in musicals even before I could read or write and played the flute for ten years. Even when I wasn't making music myself, it still surrounded me at all times - I've always listened to it whenever or wherever I could.

Because music has played such a vital part in my life, it's not only the tunes themselves, but also the lyrics they carry that have stuck with me - I write them down on snippest and plaster them across notebooks, pinboards and the like to always have them near me if a situation where I need motivation, comfort or affirmation arises.

So, coming from this musical background, I recently read Erin's blog post on some of her favorite songs - and it inspired me to share some of the song lyrics that have stuck around with me over the years with you!
